Note that the OpenDocument Foundation wasn't directly involved in the development of ODF (the format).
It was an association found by a small number of person, with a "big name", but with no official affiliation with the
ODF Alliance (witch is very active, as always).
It's like if me and you created a DonationCoder fan club, promoted and spread the word about this site for some months, and then decided to close the club!
Bye!
